- Support. Self-nominated. DrKiernan 08:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support- well written and sourced article. Astrotrain 09:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support A cracking good read about an extremely capable man whose career was blighted by his various royal connections. I thought the section dealing with the post-war loss of his family fortune was beautifully handled, poignant yet scrupulously NPOV. I've made some slight changes mostly for consistency and to remove "countly" (the adj. is "comital" but that's so obscure etc). Shriek (or revert) if you disagree. --ROGER DAVIES TALK 10:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you, both. I've readjusted the quotation marks, as although they are inconsistent within the article, the placing is in accordance with WP:MoS#Punctuation: punctuation is within the quote when forming part of the quote, but outside when the original quotation does not include the punctuation.

- I thought you might:) I usually stick them outside for consistency unless there's a compelling reason to do otherwise (e.g. emphasis on a very short sentence). Very good piece nevertheless, for which I congratulate you. --ROGER DAVIES TALK 12:22, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Support. Great article which deserves a star. Kyriakos 13:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. I made two very minor changes, but found the article otherwise flawless. It is well-written and very well-cited. Coemgenus 14:34, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. I could be petty and mention the one red link in the text (Battenberg Course Indicator). That would detract though from a thoroughly referenced, well structured and perfectly written article. Well done. Woodym555 16:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support I copyedited a few sections, but overall it looks good. Karanacs 19:40, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
